Really, why didn’t they just film the whole thing at once? Crazy to think that a relatively small studio like New Line was willing to take a chance and do this for Lord of the Rings, but 14 years later, the biggest entertainment company in the history of the world wasn’t willing to do this for what was arguably the…

That’s the thing though, there was a taste of them breaking the Skywalker cycle in Ep 8 which would’ve been an amazing avenue into a broader Star Wars movie universe and could’ve led to a more interesting ending to the Skywalker story. Rey being a total outsider opens the door for them to, as the scene with the kid…

I’m having a similar reaction to this that I did the first trailer for Dial of Destiny.  I don’t expect it to be as good as the first one, as long as it’s not as bad as the last one.  

For me it is their weakest since St Anger. All songs are rather similar. Hardwired was much better IMO. Of course nothing even close to the toe of the three monsters of the 80's (RTL, MOP, AJFA). 

I keep repeating this, because I’m apparently on crazy pills, but thanks to the Electoral College, vengeful despot-wannabe Donald Trump is still only a few tens of thousands votes away in a handful of swing states from cheating his fat ass back into the White House.

It only makes sense Evil Ron Swanson has no mustache.

That’s like saying the country “didn’t need” Apocalypse Now or The Deer Hunter. Artists reflect the world we live in. No one’s making you not watch reruns of The Office instead.

I guess I don’t understand what y’all are seeing, because this made me sick to my stomach at how believable it is. By this time next year, we’ll either be in the midst of an armed uprising, or preparing to inaugurate America’s first real autocrat. I know it’s comforting to pretend otherwise, but it was also comforting…

I’ve been into almost everything Alex Garland has done, so this definitely has my interest.

I recently watched Garland’s Devs which was wildly underrated; I figured if it had Nick Offerman, it had to be good, and I was right. I extend the same benefit of the doubt toward this, which will probably be great too.

Having someone’s brains splattered all over your face definitely changes your perspective a bit. I think he wanted an emotional response from Darby which she was incapable of providing as she’d been conditioned by her father to be dispassionate and analytical in the face of death.

“He was so into their serial killer investigation until he wasn’t”

Shrug. I really enjoyed this episode. Maybe Hawley is leaning a bit too heavy into what he perceives fan’s like out of the show after the season 4 reception, but it is working for me, warts and all.

Lorraine in no way is a good person, but damn if I didn’t enjoy her calling Roy out on his bullshit. Baby, indeed.

As I reach a quarter century of being a capital-D Drinker, this is upsetting to me. They are drinking too much.

Hmm. My home life vs. getting drunk with Dua Lipa. Homelessness it is! It wasn’t even a difficult choice.

Edi Patterson for me. In an incredible ensemble cast that includes John Goodman just killing it, she still stands out.

I kept waiting for someone to realize that Zoomer is chipped, and they’ll never be able to hide him from Andy. He probably got tech or whatever to do it from Lu Mei’s smart cities. Otherwise why bother noting that everyone living there is tracked at all times.

Admittedly knowing very little about him, he strikes me as the kind of person who would prefer to do work that interests him over money he doesn’t need. Given that he was making about $1M per episode, I’m gonna guess he doesn’t need anymore money.

I don’t know what a person would have to be going through to nominate Amy Schumer and Gervais’s stand ups over Mulaney.
